Jeffrey's Story
Life
I joined the Marines in Sept 78. I've been stationed at Camp Pendleton, California most of the time since then. I'm Married and have a 26 year old son and a step daughter. We also now have many cats that my wife has found here and there, She even imported a couple from Japan. I just got my "new" truck on the road. Its a 39 chevy "shotrod" pickup and a 37 International 1/2 ton pickup. We have a house in Fallbrook, California. Nice yard, we are having a bunch of concrete and other amenities installed there.. I finally got my workshop finished, of course it's half full of stuff now. We are also making lots of headway on the yard now, getting it to look like we want it to. Latestnews:::: I just retired from the Marines on 30 Nov 08... now i'm working as a "civilian" Military Police Officer aboard Camp Pendleton.
Update: I quit my police job and moved to Lovelan...Expand for more
d, Colorado where I am currently enrolled in college and will finish my AAS in Horticulture at the end of this semester (Fall 2017).
College
Unfortunately, I can't say this anymore. "I've got a 4.0 GPA..Ii've got A's in both of my classes." I suck at Spanish and barely pulled a "C", then forgot to take a 50 point test in my business class that dropped me to a "B". I still have a 3.8 gpa though.
